Aster Powder Puff

450 seeds

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Lightly press seeds into moist, well-draining seed-starting mix, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil at 65-70°F (18-21°C) and maintain consistent moisture. Germination typically takes 7-14 days. Once seedlings are ready and outdoor temperatures are above 50°F (10°C), transplant them to a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil. Space plants 10-12 inches apart for optimal growth. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy, and mulch to help retain moisture. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to promote strong, healthy growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Asters prefer full sun and will thrive in cooler weather, adding a fluffy, colorful display to your garden.
